Flags

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

You must be using a version of Internet Explorer less than 8. I completely forgot that I had old versions of IE blocked on my site. Oops.

I'm using IE8 and they're still a bunch of red x's. Really, you shouldn't be blocking people from accessing a website, and neither should you be using failure methods to do so.

I like the original one better. Maybe second one would look cool, but I'd switch the colors somehow.

I was editing my .htaccess file, and it had a typo, so that's why it didn't work just then. I tested with IE 8, and it works fine. I'm sick and tired of all these spambots leaving comments on my blog that identify themselves as MSIE 6.0, so I put a quick end to it. It's my site. If you use an outdated browser, not my problem.

The evenly-sized stripes are generally better, in my view - although I like the red and gold one.

So nice try, but your method is still made of fail.

Hands down number one is the best (I really really like it haha, reminds me of the Crimea). Number two is alright too, though the white line is still a tad too thin. The third is Arizona, and the last is gaudy.

Download Google Chrome! It is what I use and it is great. Microsoft- IMHO- makes shit, but if you like IE then carry on. :P

I use chrome and have experienced no adverse side efects as of yet... plus, the Firefox is one fat piece of software; it surfs real slow [compared to safari, chrome, opera, and such], plus it takes up WAY too much of your computer's resources. The only reason I'd imagine Firefox being a better choice is if you like firefox extensions, skins, and that kind of thing. I don't.

Firefox isn't that bad, and it's the only browser that has NoScript.

Besides, Chrome has a fucking horrible UI.

I like the UI... it's small and it stays out of my way.

Anyway, I guess it's a matter of taste.

I use Chrome only because I got too used to the interface and can no longer stand more than an inch of non-browser space on my screen.

oh right, yeah, conlanging isn't science.

science is methodical testing to find out more about the world. conlanging is useless in this sense and is only useful as a creative tool. i'm afraid you fail here, no two ways about it.

The friend with whom I collabourated made that symbol, but I think she called it a flourdeliz (fleur de lis in Breton, or something of the sort) — I just supplied the layout and palette for that one.
French lily? :/ I didn't recognize it as a flower, but it's pretty anyway.

Ooh, I like this one. The colors fit well together and assymmetry of the cross is interesting.

Aha, as I suspected. The green is mint green, and the "yellow" is like somewhere between khaki, apricot and skin.

IMO the original was good the way it was. The first of these new ones is awful, the proportions are all wrong!
